By Gadgets 360 Staff | Updated: 14 December 2015 16:35 IST

Xiaomi's upcoming flagship Mi 5 smartphone has been spotted in live images that purportedly show the handset's front panel.

The leaked front panel image shows the display of the Xiaomi Mi 5 and appears to confirm the home button on the handset. As we have heard in the past, the physical home button below the display is likely to serve as a fingerprint scanner. If this image turns out to be accurate, then the Mi 5 will be the first handset in Xiaomi's lineup to sport a physical home button. Also seen in the leaked image are the rounded edges of the alleged Mi 5 smartphone.

In line with a previous leak, alleged Mi 5 can be seen sporting a near bezel-less display. In another image, the Mi 5's front panel connectors can be seen. The new leaked images comes courtesy GizmoChina.

Based on preliminary leaks, Xiaomi is said to launch two versions of the Mi 5 - one priced at CNY 1,999 (approximately Rs. 20,800) and another at CNY 2,499 (approximately Rs. 26,000). The Chinese company is also said to use a pressure-sensitive touchscreen, which will be a technology similar to Apple's 3D Touch-like pressure sensitive technology. The Mi 5 is widely expected to be the company's first smartphone running Android 6.0 Marshmallow and will also come with the new MIUI version.

The Chinese company may not have revealed launch date of the Mi 5 flagship smartphone, but the company has been buzzing social media with claims that the handset will be "worth the wait" and is "very, very good". A recent leak tipped that the company may launch the Mi 5 smartphone next year on January 21.
